Why Try Oral Appliances?

Oral appliances are sleek, comfortable, and quiet alternatives to the usual CPAP therapy. With CPAP, the patient must wear an uncomfortable mask connected to a noisy machine for the duration of the night. This may keep a partner or the patient awake, therefore defeating the purpose. Oral Appliance Therapy gently pushes the jaw forward, allowing air to pass through more easily and eliminating mild obstructive sleep apnea or snoring.
